One cubic centimetre is one millilitre is one gramme.

One cubic metre is 100cmx100x100 = 1 million cubic centimetres

As one litre is 1000 millilitres, you get the 1000 litres.

One litre weighs one kilo

One cubic metre weighs one metric ton

Also, one calorie is the heat required to increase one millilitre of water by one degree celsius!

How handy.

But a calorie is a non-SI derived unit with at least 5 definitions You should use Joules when talking about energy which is about 4.19J per calorie (depending on which calorie you're talking about) also when you are talking about food you talking about Calories (capital C) which is 1000 calories or a kilocalorie. Too confusing. use Joules ;-)

But that's such a messy number!! (stamps foot)

Strictly speaking one millilitre and 1 cubic centimeter are not the same. 1 ml = 1.000028 cm3. You can find the explanation at http://www.ex.ac.uk/cimt/dictunit/dictunit.htm

Well even more strictly speacking they are the same, now. Up until 1964 they weren't while they relied on the old definition of the litre (one kg of water), since then it has been defined as 1 cubic decimetre.

ann_h you forgot to specify that a litre is 1 Kg of water and if you also want to know that is at a temperature of 4�C when the density is highest as the temperature rises or falls from 4�C the density decreases slightly.

also a litre is a cubic dm (10 cm) so if the cube is 1 m along each side then each side is 10 dm long and 10*10*10 =1000 this is just another way of calculating it
